RADIUS

Authentication is the process of identifying an individual, usually based on a user name and password. The Console Server supports various authentication options, such as “Local” and “RADIUS”, to authenticate the users who access the serial port. When the authentication

is set to “Local”, the unit will use its own user list to authenticate a user. If configured otherwise, the Console Server will request authentication from the external authentication servers (i.e., RADIUS). The figure below shows conceptually the user authentication process when using an external authentication server.
